Kirby’s Dream Land (Game Boy) Playthrough – NintendoComplete
Kirby’s Dream Land was the first time we ever got introduced us to Kirby, and stands as an excellent first title in one of what has become one of Nintendo’s prime franchises, as well as one of developer Hal’s enduring hallmarks (even if it’s just one among many amazing games they produced, including the Mother and Smash Bros. games).
Things have changed a lot for the pink puff in the past twenty-five years. He was just as cute and cheery then as he is now, but in the original adventure he hadn’t yet gained his ability to take on powers by eating his enemies. He flies, he inhales, and he eats, but except for a few predetermined moments, those are the only means of protecting himself that he has.
It definitely makes for a simpler game, but not a worse one. The levels are varied and extremely well detailed. This was seriously of higher quality than most NES platformers for its presentation! The music is great, and though the game is short and easy, there is a hard mode included. Still, that didn’t stop me from beating the game within a couples of hours of playing for the first time, but I loved it nonetheless. The mechanics are spot on, it’s never frustrating, and it’s generally just plain old fun. Nothing wrong with that!
I think that this one is still my favorite of the entire series.
And the shout-out to the Lolo games on the second stage – super sweet.
Recorded using the Retroarch DMG shader for that classic Game Boy look!

Can't believe it's been 30 years since I played this game. I remember every second of this. Almost made me cry for some reason. Thanks for uploading

Forgot this game existed until i was reminded of it on HIGH SCORE

A fantastic lunch-break game. Might not be a long one, but quality versus quantity and all that.

Yes very deep childhood memories. Introducing my bird to all the cool sounds in this old school dope ass game. He will be repeating it all soon. Hahahahahah…thanks fo the upload. 👍👍
I love this game
Omg omg omg omg 😭😭💟💟😍😍😍😍😍😍
POKEMON TYPE WEAKNESS/SUPER-EFFECTIVENESS ALERT (FIGHTING >>> DARK): The scenes where Kirby beats and destroys the enemies and bosses in above video explains why in pokemon franchises Dark type pokemon is weak to Fighting type pokemons/attacks (reason: Good guys/main heroes use battle moves against Evil creatures to beat them).
Who would say that a simple game like this would turn out into a simulator game where you kill interdimensonal demons
I played and replayed this so often on my gameboy I started getting audiotory hallucinations of the soundtrack when I wasn't playing in a quiet room AND I THOUGHT IT WAS AWESOME
Godawful music. Didnt bother me back in the day though
This was so difficult Back then!!
Das nenn ich Lungenvolumen 😂🙂
Gotta love that monochrome filter!
If there were to be a live action Kirby movie, you think it should “loosely” be inspired by the movie ET?
What emulator you use?
Kirby really sucks.
